The 20 most embarrassing moments in Democratic Party history

1) The Trail of Tears (1838): The first Democrat President, Andrew Jackson and his successor Martin Van Buren, herded Indians into camps, tormented them, burned and pillaged their homes and forced them to relocate with minimal supplies. Thousands died along the way.

2) Democrats Cause The Civil War (1860): The pro-slavery faction of the Democrat Party responded to Abraham Lincoln’s election by seceding, which led to the Civil War.

3) Formation of the KKK (1865): Along with 5 other Confederate veterans, Democrat Nathan Bedford Forrest created the KKK.

5) The American Protective League and The Palmer Raids (1919-1921): Under the leadership of Woodrow Wilson, criticizing the government became a crime and a fascist organization, the American Protective League was formed to spy on and even arrest fellow Americans for being insufficiently loyal to the government. More than 100,000 Americans were arrested, with less than 1% of them ever being found guilty of any kind of crime.

No, they aren’t “…a sheet-wearing racist terrorist…” on the outside, but an honest look at what the Democrap party does to every minority in its “big tent” will bring one to the conclusion that they are the same racist, bigoted, self-loathing, misogynistic group led by Jackson and Van Buren then and equally evil people now.

Well Carlos, there is no doubt that the leadership of the Dem party is just as evil. The average Dem is sadly deceived by these evil people, but then again Holy Scripture does say the devil comes as an angel of light, so deception goes hand in hand with evil. – Lorica

On point #14 “Escalation in Vietnam (1964)”, it is worth noting JFK got us involved there in the first place. LBJ made it worse with the phony Tonkin Gulf incidents (they never happened) to get his War Powers Act and making no efforts on the part of our POWs. It took a Repubican, Nixon, to straighten the mess out and salvge a “peace with honor” including a full accounting of the POWs, John McCain being numbered among them.

Wrongo, Carlos. We had no active combat role in Vietnam until JFK and LBJ got that started. The French were defeated at Dien Bien Phu in ’54, after which our role was simply advisory. The commiecrats got the shooting war started. Having left Korea in ’53 Eisenhower was not so eager to immediately get us involved in another Asian land war. BTW the USS Enterprise was scrapped in ’58 and later rebuilt as a nuclear carrier in the ’60’s.

There is plenty of documentation that JFK was not about to send ground troops to Vietnam. Basically, he refused the Joint Chiefs of Staff… and it’s on video. It was LBJ who escalated the Vietnam war. Kennedy, having served in WW2, was not interested in having a ground war in Vietnam. Military advisors only. AND BTW, Drew… the president who got us into the Vietnam issue was Harry S. Truman. Once again, Dems believed we could succeed where another country was unable to.

Not possible, Brontefan. Truman was President until ’53 at which time Korea was winding down and Eisenhower was elected to succeed him. Truman did desperately want a shot at upstaging the recently-defeated French. Agreed about JFK and the “advisors” and LBJ watching the war on TV in the Oval Office, thiking he knew more about it than the on-scene commanders. This despite the fact he never wore a uniform in defense of this country.

Not to dispute you, Drew, but I guess my friend the cop who served on the USS Enterprise was a liar, then, when he told me back in ’68 about losing those planes. My memory might be shallow on what years he told me, but it certainly remembers what he said about losing the planes.
